The Mayor introduced the agenda item, Shari Thomas, Assistant General Manager of Water and Power, reviewed the agenda report as part of a PowerPoint presentation, highlighting the revenue impact due to the State mandated reduction in water consumption, and responded to questions. (Budget Amendment No. 2016-1 0)

Following discussion, it was moved by Councilmember McAustin, seconded by· Vice Mayor Masuda, to approve the staff recommendation. (Motion unanimously carried) (Absent: None)

HOUSING ELEMENT IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed Housing Element Implementation Process, as follows: (1) Designate the Planning Commission as the oversight body for the implementation of the Housing Element; (2) Housing and Career Services Department to host biannual community workshops specifically on housing related issues; (3) Planning Commission to hold biannual commission meetings focusing on the Housing Element and other housing related issues; and (4) Planning and Community Development Department to prepare a report to the Economic Development and Technology Committee (EDTech Committee) following each biannual Planning Commission meeting. In addition, the report sent to the EDTech Committee after the second biannual Planning Commission meeting will include a discussion on the effectiveness of the implementation process. Recommendation of the Economic Development and Technology Committee: On July 9, 2015, staff presented to the EDTech Committee an information item regarding the proposed Housing Element Implementation Process that was recommended by the Planning Commission. Members of the public were invited to attend the meeting, and two public comments were received in support of creating a new housing commission. After careful consideration and discussion, the Committee concurred with the proposed Housing Element Implementation Process.

comm1ss1on, the EDTech Committee ultimately approved the recommended implementation process unanimously, with an added request that there be an assessment on the effectiveness of the approved implementation process after one year. Recommendation of Planning Commission: On May 27, 2015, the Planning Commission voted (6-1 vote) to recommend that the City Council adopt an implementation process for the Housing Element that includes the following three components: (1) Planning Commission as the oversight body for the implementation of the Housing Element; (2) Housing and Career Services Department to host biannual community workshops specifically on housing related issues; and (3) Planning Commission to hold biannual commission meetings focusing on the Housing Element and other housing related issues.

In response to several comments received, the Planning Commission requested that the Housing Element Annual Report include additional information than what is required by the State. The Commission also requested that the agenda for biannual Planning Commission meetings be exclusive to affordable housing issues and that the schedule for these meetings (both Planning Commission and the community workshop) be established and presented to the City Council. Lastly, the Commission requested that staff be kept up to date with the State legislation related to housing. The recommended implementation process would result in quarterly public meetings focusing on housing related issues, providing updates on the Housing Element and a forum to discuss community concerns.

Vince Bertoni, Director of Planning and Community Development, introduced the agenda item, and Anita Cerna, Senior Planner, reviewed the agenda report as part of a PowerPoint presentation, and responded to questions.
